CNN Walks It Back: Oops, Zimmerman Didn't Say 'Coon,' He Said It Was
NBC isn’t the only network slinking away from overcooking the case against George Zimmerman’s alleged racism.

Reporter Gary Tuchman asserted: "It certainly sounds like that word to me."

Tyrrell Column: Romney Is Coming On Strong
There are some campaign advisers who would counsel former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney to jog on the campaign trail tirelessly, probably in short pants and with a catchy T-shirt emblazoned with some memorable phrase, say, "Fred Fna Ate Here," a la Al Gore and Bill Clinton.

On Wednesday's NBC Tonight Show, host Jay Leno asked Meet the Press host David Gregory if Mitt Romney's religion would be fair game in the general election: "...with Obama....you know, 'Oh, he's a Muslim.

NBC's "apology" for their selective editing of the Zimmerman 911 call was "two whole sentences of nothing," complained NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell on the April 5 edition of Fox News Channel's Hannity.

When It Comes to Scott Walker, Media Think Bias Is the New Objectivity

Open Thread: White House Admits There Are Few Actual ‘Green’ Jobs
Today's starter topic: It's not often that you see an Obama Administration official admit to making a mistake, which is why stimulus creator Jared Bernstein's remarks on so-called "green" jobs are worth preserving.
